Climate change can goad volcanoes into life
Geologists have analyzed volcanic data from the Messinian salinity crisis in the Mediterranean Sea, when the Strait of Gibraltar was blocked and the Mediterranean temporarily isolated from the Atlantic. After testing various scenarios, the geologists concluded that the increase in … Continue reading
Climate Change Won’t Stop Stony Corals From Making Rock
Stalactite-lined Agatized Coral from Withlacoochee River, Lowndes Co., Georgia New research suggests stony corals may fare better under the acidic ocean conditions caused by climate change than once thought. “The bottom line is that corals will make rock even under … Continue reading
Climate change narratives
Nature Geoscience 10, 466 (2017). doi:10.1038/ngeo2981 Author: Richard D. Pancost Reconstructions of Earth’s past are much more than benchmarks for climate models. They also help us comprehend risk by providing concrete narratives for diverse climates. Nature Geoscience – Issue – … Continue reading
Reconciling predictions of climate change
Researchers have resolved a major conflict in estimates of how much the Earth will warm in response to a doubling of CO2 in the atmosphere — finding that the lower range of estimates offered by historical observations does not take … Continue reading
Climate Change Is Turning Antarctica Green
Photo: Matt Amesbury Researchers in Antarctica have discovered rapidly growing banks of mosses on the ice continent’s northern peninsula, providing striking evidence of climate change in the coldest and most remote parts of the planet. Amid the warming of the … Continue reading

An alternative view on climate change
Before you start shouting at your magazine, don’t worry, you’re not going to read that I think climate change isn’t happening or that human beings aren’t contributing to it. However, I am going to try to show that the version … Continue reading
Climate change: River redirected
Nature Geoscience 10, 327 (2017). doi:10.1038/ngeo2946 Author: Rachel M. Headley Glaciers and ice sheets are retreating in response to climate warming. An analysis of drainage patterns of a huge glacier in Yukon, Canada shows that glacier retreat has led to … Continue reading
